Lyrics Vagrants – Bury Me
Text:
Sinking into the swallow of the hollow heart’s divide
The unspoken and the unfamiliar are separated by unseen lines
I’ll hold my breath
As I embark into the unknown
Mystery is what keeps us alive and we are emboldened by our own fear of life
What is this unquenchable sustenance?
Where am I headed?
Am I meant to go alone?
Forgive me for counting out myself (bury me with my best intent)
I am no one, trying to be someone (I am weary bones covered by young skin)
Shoulder to shoulder
We are led to the tide
Ready to be held down
We are brought to life
Drowning on the air that we breathe
Can I gain enough courage to die to myself
Long enough to know that you won’t sink
I’d rather swallow the rushes
While you gain your ground
Our convictions tend to bleed us dry
And our missteps hold us down
We are born and broken by coincidence
All of these things have led me to you now (have led me to you now)
Forgive me for counting out myself (bury me with my best intent)
I am no one, trying to be someone (I am weary bones covered by young skin)
Bury me with my best intentions
I have my purpose
I will not be forgotten
